AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Iran-US brinkmanship: Trump says he was “an hour away” from striking Iran again, then paused after Gulf allies asked for more time—while Iran warns of “more surprises” if attacks resume and insists it’s ready to open “new fronts.” War powers showdown: The US Senate advanced a resolution to curb Trump’s Iran war authority (50-47), with a rare group of Republicans joining Democrats, but it still faces House and veto hurdles. Strait of Hormuz pressure: South Korea reports a tanker exiting Hormuz in coordination with Iran, underscoring how shipping is still being managed under the shadow of the conflict. Gaza flotilla standoff: Israel says it has intercepted all 10 vessels in Global Sumud Flotilla 2.0 and is transferring 430 activists toward Israel; Malaysia demands release of detained citizens. Lebanon-Israel risk: Hezbollah rejects any Lebanon-Israel talks while backing Iran-US negotiations, and warns it would confront any Lebanese proxy force tied to Israel. Cost-of-living spillover: UK inflation cooled to 2.8% in April, but officials warn Iran-war energy shocks will keep pressure on households.
